Description Thanks to skullkid3 to point something needed to fix.

"Although you are a fairy, you possess great power. But because of that, you often stray from and misclaim your territory. That's right, you cause a little too much trouble." - Eiki Shiki.

True Faes are really shitheads.
Never enter into Arcadia.
Never. - festasim

It's expected that the monsters of fantastic tales go to Gensokyo after being forgotten in the Outside World. However, sometimes, some of those creatures don't make it to Gensokyo and are forever forgotten. Sometimes it's an extremely good thing. Arcadia was forgotten in the lore of the Old British, and it was the home of the fae, a species of hyper-evolved fairies that, without constrains, didn't do anything to curb their vices. But thankfully, they don't exist anymore, be it because of a decree from God Himself or the advancement of humanity.

However a small piece of their existance still resisted to oblivion and sought its way to rebuild the fae glory. And it found its way on the Ice Fairy Cirno. Gensokyo had experienced trouble with youkai that gained too much power in too little time, but the problem was deeper than that because the new Cirno turned out to be more chaotic than Utsuho Reiuji ever been. Yet, there was something different in Cirno and the incident solvers thought they had a chance to make her snap. Will they succeed?

----

Submitting for Drama, because this was something I had as a plot bunny once, because Eiki warned that Cirno might become something else if she didn't take care and stuff. Perhaps I'll recycle this in a future fic (but it won't be the focus of it). So I decided to make a climax scene (Reimu and Marisa are more serious than usual because this is a really serious incident and Cirno is still struggling with her fae impulses and fairy innocence, wondering what's the right thing).

I need that cirno as a friend.
Infact, that could even be cirno's ultimate form! c:

Actually, the reason why there are no Fae in Gensokyo is probably because beings like Yukari, Yuuka and Suika killed them all.

They should unfreeze Sakuya and Remilia, Flandre, Yuuka, Suika and Yukari to fight Cirno and kill the Imp.

I guess when ZUN started writing the series he wasn't aware of the dark side of the fae folklore or the World of Darkness series, so he sticked with the usual disneyfied version. Even if he was made aware of it, I guess he couldn't fit in, since the original british folklore is darker than the japanese folklore. In-universe, there is a canonic statement in which the Border also keeps certain youkai out of Gensokyo, perhaps the fae may be one of them.

But it's also possible that very powerful youkais like Yukari, Yuuka and Suika killed them all.

Never wander into Arcadia.

Never.

Faes will enslave and fuck with you and your mind. Expecially your mind. Just for fun.

You get neat powers yes, but still.

You'll not be human anymore.

True Faes are assholes.

Arcadia is actuallyΒ R'lyeh.

This really shows , in my opinion, what a fairy can really do if they began to take their powers and things in life seriously. Nice comic!

I liked this, but is there a panel missing or something? Cirno says "My friends, you say?" but Reimu didn't say anything about friends...

Oho, so this is an example of what you meant when you brought up the idea of the Fae?

Gotta say, I like it!

I actually forgot how vicious the old lore Fae were.
